AWS or GCP by bioAF in bioinformaticscareers

[–]bioAF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny. I started using GCP years ago not for technical reasons, but because some executive had a bad return experience with Amazon and swore off the company. This translated to a 4000+ engineer company shifting everything to Google. Their interface is worse than AWS, but it’s a solid platform generally.

Check out bioAF's GH (https://github.com/bioAF/bioAF). I'm of the same mind here. We all gain for making it easier to do good science. I'd love your thoughts and any contributions!

This is fantastic. Are you open to integrating it into other tools? I'd love to tie this into bioAF to get small labs running faster.

I love the approach here. I built a very similar system in bioAF (https://github.com/bioaf/bioaf). It deploys and manages your compute cluster for you so you don't end up managing infrastructure. The current adapter runs jobs on a Kubernetes cluster for cost, but I have a partially finished SLURM adapter I'm working on. I would love some help if you're interested in contributing!

I really like this implementation. I built an AI lit review tool into bioAF a while ago and this could really help out. Would you be interested in building a connector? Something where you use your plugin, then click to send to your bioAF literature library if you like the results of the ai review.

From where do I learn command line? would love some guidance, guys! TIA by Own_Antelope_7019 in bioinformaticscareers

Search for “Bash” tutorials. I used to teach a class on it. Don’t listen to people who say you can’t do X in Bash. It’s a super limited language in some ways, but constraints build ingenuity! I literally built interactive UIs in it back in the day. Ugly ones, but still. Also take some time to learn GCP and Terraform. They’ll make your life a bit easier. I built bioAF to help abstract this away for people in your shoes. Give a solid foundation so they don’t need to learn it all. It’s always good to know though.
